Study: Many Sunscreens May Be Accelerating Cancer

Posted by truthpills on 2010/05/27

WASHINGTON (May 24) — Almost half of the 500 most popular sunscreen products may actually increase the speed at which malignant cells develop and spread skin cancer because they contain vitamin A or its derivatives, according to an evaluation of those products released today.

AOL News also has learned through documents and interviews that the Food and Drug Administration has known of the potential danger for as long as a decade without alerting the public, which the FDA denies.

The study was released with Memorial Day weekend approaching. Store shelves throughout the country are already crammed with tubes, jars, bottles and spray cans of sunscreen.

The white goop, creams and ointments might prevent sunburn. But don’t count on them to keep the ultraviolet light from destroying your skin cells and causing tumors and lesions, according to researchers at Environmental Working Group.Read the full article

Here is a disinformation in this article: But don’t count on them to keep the ultraviolet light from destroying your skin cells and causing tumors and lesions.
Sunscreen causes most of the skin cancers and tumors. The sun rarely causes skin cancer or tumor. The sun will cause winkles as it dries up your skin, and burns when overexposed. If you limit your sun exposure to 1/2 hour at a time, you will be fine. Humans throughout history use no sunscreen and skin cancer/tumor is practically unknown to them. However, with the advent of heavy toxic chemical suntan lotion, and sunscreen usage, skin cancers/tumors have skyrocketed. One of the best treatment for skin cancer is the sun with no sunscreen. Our body makes vitamin D from being exposed to the sun and vitamin D is anti-cancer and anti-viral (prevent flu? avoid flu shot and sugar but take 4,000 IU of vitamin D daily during flu season).
If you plan to be out in the sun for long periods of time, use a combination of aloe vera, clothes, umbrella, shade, and whatever to block out the sun so that you are not exposed to the sun unprotected for the whole duration of that time. If your skin starting to get a little red, try to avoid the sun or if absolutely necessary, use sunscreen to prevent burns. Sunscreen is sometimes necessary but you have to weigh the risks vs benefits. Sunscreen prevents burns but will cause cancer from overuse. If you can find natural sunscreen, that’s a better alternative.
